Svantaggi
Are you reading reviews thinking Surely it can’t be that bad?’ Well I’m here to tell you that it really is that bad. Do this graduate scheme only if your number one priority in life is making money and you are willing to sacrifice everything else. Even the most resilient graduates will be pushed past breaking point. Every horror story you hear about this graduate scheme is true. Before I started, I ignored all the reviews, blinded by the salary and the car. A few months in, I am burnt out, constantly exhausted and regretting ever taking this job. Grads are worked to the bone and you're always expected to work longer than your 10 hour shift and come in on your days off. Don't expect to be allowed to take your holidays either. If you are one of the few who makes it through the training, there is little room for advancement. And forget about international opportunities- chances of being seconded somewhere after 5 years are almost zero. This job gives you with a specific skill set of retail management and it will be hard to find a job in another field.
